the nomination of r. B. Davis aDd George
Roberts as regents OF the State Univer-

to the committee. It was agreed to read
al RESOLUTIONS, the convention then 30
FER them to the committee with ipstruc-
fiOn for them TO report back their action

ments on the efforts of Parnell and Glad

Dental party were ia danger OF being
swept of their feet by the swinging
throng, but the police finally managed to
keep the crowd in check. The Presidents
reception lasted one hour. He was SO
tired Of nandshaking as he himself o.
served that most Of the time he kept mis-
hands behind him and simply bowed as
the people passed. Many of them were
not satisfied with this and persisted in
TOUCHING BIS CLOTHES
with their hands. From Sc0liiz' Park the

WACO, TEX, Oct. 6.-Ths two-story
brick building occupied by P. NJ. Ripley,
on Austin, between Sixth and Seventh
streets, was the scene OF destructive
cOrhagration early this morning. The
first alarm was given about 4 so O'Clock.
The fire originated in the lower room of
the establishment, and burned very rap
idly. How it originated is mystery,
unless from q traction engine standing in
the lower room. This engine ia said to
have been fred up yesterday to test its
workings. snd possibly the fires
were net extinguished IS effect
ually SIS was intended. Anyhow, the
whole interior of the store "a very large
building) flied with machinery, agricul-
tursl implements and wagons, was pretty
thoroughly Quilted by the fire. The fire
men put three streams of water to play
and in comparatively brief time had the
fire SO completely under control that alI
apprehension of further spread was dis
PEELED. Mr.. ". G. Eakir, who slept in
the second story, was awakened by the
roar and heat OF the flames bursting up
from below right at MS bedside. He made
his escape as speedily as possible by
way VI u W4nOOTi OSI AOu GhGA1

vile yesterday on business. His book
keeper, Mr.. Cooper, estimates that
the stock on hand last night would inven-
tory between $4,000 and $4,000. TIE
insurance on the stock is $lO,5 800, distri-
buted as follows: Home Of New York,
$500; London, Liverpool and Globe,
$4,000; North British and Mer-
camille, $4,000; Germania, So
coo. The building belonged
70 Mr.. John F. Sedwick. It is insured in
The Royal, $1,000, and in the Home Of
New York for $4,000. This amount will
hardly cover Mr.. SedRick's losses.
Kelly & Standefer, grocers, occupying an
adjacent building, had their stock some
what damaged by water, but Losses are
fully covered by insurance. The same
may be said of an adjacent building be-
longing to Mr.. Lehman Sanger.

TYLER, TEX, Oct. 6.-The Court o.
Appeals transacted the following business
to-day. The docket of the first assign.
ment was called:
Dismissed On motion Of state, State VS..
JoHn Riden, from Shelby.
Application for writ of habeas corpus,
expArte r. D. Bell, from Travis. This Is
8 prosecution for failure to post up ia s
conspicuous place TIE license ct relatOI
as retail liquor dealer, as required by
the act Of March 20, 1887, Twentieth Leg
islature. The applicant admits the truth
OF the charge but AYERS he is illegally re-
strained in his liberty because there was
no legal method provided by law whereby
he could obtain such license and he did
not for this reason have any such license
to post up. In short the reI8tOr claims TO
be unable to make the bond OF 5000 as
required and that such re-
quirament is unconstitutional.
The case was argued to-day and is now
under Amusement of the court. There is
much interest as to the decision OF the
court, as the cQnstitutiOnalisy OF the re-
cent liquor Law is involved.
